Obituary

Thomas was born in Gold Beach, Oregon on June 22, 1987 to his Mother Patti Denn. He left us much too soon on April 7, 2019 in Salem, Oregon at the age of 31. Thomas is survived by his son, Blake, his Mother Patti Denn, His sisters Sabrina Denn, Amy Smalley and Tiffany Bernards, his Brother James Bradford and his Father, Tom Wrighthouse along with many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved him dearly. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Pat, Cousins Tyler and Shayna, Aunt Carol, Uncles George and Albert and infant daughter Nevaeh.

Thomas was a caring man with a big heart. He was recently baptized and was just beginning a life of religion. Thomas enjoyed drawing up new tattoo ideas and loved to write.

His greatest love was his family. His son, nieces and nephews brought him great joy and put a smile on his face.

Thomas was an active man and loved the outdoors. He could commonly be found hiking, fishing and enjoying everything Oregon had to offer.

He was a Wildland Firefighter. Thomas will be terribly missed and left behind holes in the hearts of those who loved and cared for him. His presence will stay in our memories and the sound of his voice and unique laugh will remain etched into our minds forever. Thomas may be gone from this world, but he will never be forgotten.

A special Thank you to Julie at the Wildland Firefighter Foundation for all her support and help in this difficult time.
